Dungeon Designer: Bringing Smiles to the World!

As soon as Grace got her hands on the reel, she immediately began to study it.

Instantly, the method of using [Farewell Tears] was imprinted in Grace's mind, and then the scroll turned to ashes and scattered.

This is a one-time learning type reel.

Convenient, simple, and efficient; you can start learning immediately once you get your hands on it.

If [Tears of Farewell] were placed outside the dungeon, it would definitely cause a sensation, with countless priests and even high-ranking clergy from various churches vying for it.

However, money was not an issue for Grace.

Before running away from home, she deposited all the pocket money she had saved over the years into the bank. Although it wasn't much, only a "mere" few thousand gold coins, it was enough for her to use for quite a while.

"Hehe, thanks for your patronage." Patch rubbed his hands together. "What about the others? Is there anything you'd like to buy?"

Elisa and Joel ignored the guy for the time being and instead gathered around Grace.

"Try this prayer to see its effects."

"To be precise, this should be called a miracle, a miracle of immunity to death," Grace whispered, correcting Elisa's statement. She was also eager to try the effects of [Farewell Tears] immediately, but who should she use for the experiment? Should she make them attack each other?

"Isn't there a target right here?"

Elisa immediately pointed at Patch, whose smile froze instantly.

"If what this guy is selling is legitimate, he won't die." Alyssa gave a chilling smile. "Hmph, but if he's selling counterfeit goods, then he deserves to die!"

"That's right." Joel nodded in agreement.

Patch's expression changed, and he immediately tried to pack his things and run away, but Joel and Elisa grabbed him.

"Let me go! You can't treat Patch, who is trustworthy, like this!" Patch struggled, but he was unable to break free.

After a moment's hesitation, Grace began to recite her unique prayer, and soon a warm light enveloped Patch.

The effect of 【Farewell Tears】 is to escape death once, but death is also divided into two types: slow death after multiple attacks and instant death.

Without a doubt, to verify the effect of [Tears of Farewell], it is best to use the latter attack, that is, an attack that kills in one hit.

Of the four, only Elisa, a mage, and River, who is ostensibly a high-level assassin but is actually a high-level shadow assassin, could inflict such damage.

Elisa was naturally eager to make her move.

But before she could even begin chanting the incantation, Rivera had already swiftly stabbed Patch in the heart with a dagger.

"Ouch!"

Patch let out a scream as the dagger pierced through his soft armor, spurting out crimson blood in a rather gruesome manner.

However, just as the blade was about to pierce her heart, a flash of light appeared, and the dagger in River's hand was knocked away.

Rivera herself was the most surprised. Although she didn't use any combat techniques, there was no doubt that her attack would be fatal. It seemed that the miracle called "Tears of Farewell" was indeed effective.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop standing there and heal me quickly." Patch covered his wound and looked at Grace.

"I'm sorry!" Grace immediately cast a healing prayer, healing Patch's wound.

"Ahem." Patch gave a thumbs up: "Anything made by Patch is guaranteed to be top-notch. Now you all believe I'm a trustworthy Patch, right?"

After casting [Tears of Farewell] and Prayer of Restoration in succession, Grace's face became noticeably paler, looking completely drained.

Rivers gently helped Grace up and led her to sit down and rest by the campfire.

"I've been quite exhausted; I can only recover slowly." Grace lay down in River's arms, closed her eyes, and looked like she was about to fall asleep.

If she weren't in the sick village, she would recover quickly, but now she needs at least half an hour of rest.

"Crackling, crackling..."

The campfire burned, and the other three members of the squad waited for Grace to fully recover.

Now that they know that killing monsters can yield souls, and that souls can be used to purchase useful items, the team naturally only has one objective left.

Kill as many monsters as possible and empty Patches' Shop.

Finally, one person was sent out of the dungeon with the purchased items using the [Return Bone Shard], while the remaining three went to challenge the Gluttonous Dragon.

This is the most reasonable choice.

Unfortunately, this is in a dungeon, and adventurers often don't get what they want.

……

"I never imagined they were in cahoots."

Roger stroked his chin and looked at the surveillance footage shared by Horak.

"You know him?" Horak asked.

"That female assassin is at least a mid-level Shadow Assassin. The pair of daggers I wanted to trade with you before were dropped by her," Rogge said. "As for the other three, they've also entered my dungeon to explore."

Horak immediately grasped the key point in Rogge's words: "That shadow assassin died in your [Dorn Dungeon]?"

"What, you don't believe me?" Roger asked with a smile.

No, I believe it.

The lich Horak's tone was rather complex: "Are there dungeon design geniuses like you everywhere in Shanghai now? Am I really outdated?"

During the few days they spent together, Horak had come to realize Rogue's terrifying talent in dungeon design, a talent that even the proud lich admired.

Although the disease village is located in the [Taifa Underground City], it is nominally Horak's territory.

However, the construction of the sick village was extremely complex and could not be accomplished with just blueprints, not to mention the fragmented information recorded in the scattered items.

Rogge was also deeply involved in the construction of the Sicks Village; without him, it would not have been possible for the village to be completed in just a few days.

To do this, Horak used up almost all the negative energy he had accumulated.

But now it seems that this sacrifice was undoubtedly worthwhile, and even Horak benefited from Rogge's actions.

After all, he only provided the venue, yet he received half of the negative energy.

"I wouldn't presume to call myself a genius," Roger said modestly. "It's just a small innovation built on the shoulders of giants."

Looking at Alyssa and the others resting in the video, Roger said, "Let's wake up the Gluttonous Dragon ahead of time. We can't let these guys buy up everything in Patchina."

The "Tears of Farewell," a skill that can be described as divine, is enough to attract a large number of adventurers to flock to the Blighttown.

It's just a behind-the-scenes operation, which is normal for the dungeon lord.

Horak was also somewhat excited: "Let these adventurers see the works of art we've created!"

Originally, creating a monster of the Gluttonous Dragon's caliber from nothing using only negative energy would have been extremely costly.

However, Horak had been researching the technology to create powerful undead, and over the long years he slowly sculpted the body of an undead dragon, which coincidentally served as the skeleton of the Gluttonous Dragon.

"roar……"

At the deepest part of the swamp at the bottom of the diseased village, a terrifying dragon roar almost shook the entire village.
